Biography
Ben Wilson is a Scottish born figurative painter living and working in London. Wilson embraces the quality and passion of the old masters, transporting it into a contemporary setting to capture in paint the people here and now in the modern world.
As a self-taught artist Wilson has always had a strong sensibility for art and painting; deriving his influences from the great masters of the past: Caravaggio, Goya, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Manet and Lucian Freud.
Wilson aspires to capture a profound moment in time between artist and sitter and trap not only their likeness but a meditative introspection; creating an intense confrontation with another human being.
